Abree turned 8 years old on October 5th. Because of General Conference, our stake baptisms were moved to October 13th. So instead of having to wait until the first Saturday of November, she was able to be baptized the week after her birthday. We thought that was pretty cool.
Powdered doughnuts and pumpkin/cream cheese bundt cake. Yum.
It's GREAT to be 8! (get it?)
I had to spell it out for many of my family members. :)

Taylee and Abree washed and braided Piper's hair (doll) and Abree put her white dress on.. so they could be "twins".
Abree's dress was made by Grandma Smullin. Isn't is pretty? Thank you Grandma Smullin!
Months before Abree's birthday..at least 6, Abree told me she wanted "high heels" for a gift. I found these "high heels" brand new at Goodwill. They were a little big, but fit ok with socks. She'll be able to wear them for a while. :)
Taylee braided Abree's hair and we put her flower headband on that she got for her birthday.
Abree is ready to get baptized.
This year, Abree's Primary teacher Sister Morrison, asked me (as Primary president) if their class could attend each baptism. I thought that sounded like a great idea (if parents supported it).
Each month, as Abree would go to her classmate's baptisms, she would get more and more excited for her own. She and Catherine Chandler were the LAST ones to be baptized (in our ward) for the year...finally. Abree also had a school classmate (Tyler) and a friend from another ward (Allie Brown) get baptized the same day..kinda cool.

After the baptism, we gathered in a classroom for her confirmation, so family and friends could participate.

We gathered back at our home to have homemade soup and bread. I made a potato soup and chicken vegetable noodle soup. Karen made whole wheat and french bread.
Thanks Karen! Yumm-o.

Congrats, Abree! She is looking more mature all the time. She looks a lot like Rylee.
I can't believe Abree is already baptized. Wow, time flies by. I love how sweet Taylee sounds, what a sweet big sister. I think Abree looks just like Jason. Your families getting old.
